Send him to a boarding school... He should learn how his mates behave.

And again don't allow him watch cartoons, I recommend action movies (war).
You serious at all? War film?

Help family. I have a child, a 5 year old boy who grew up with his mum. We were much younger when we had the child.

Until recently, she brought my child to me, she traveled to Ghana and married. I don't have a problem with that tho. My problem is with my son. He is too gentlemanly for my like. I don't even know if gentlemanly is the right term.

Dude is too timid for my liking. He looks exactly like me and all that but his behaviors are just not what I was when I was his age. He is too timid, kind and lenient. Please what could I do to toughen him up apart of beating. I need a my child. Imagine one small boy was dragging the biscuit I bought for him and he still have the boy and still give him water. It was the strangest thing I have seen in a while. Where the hell did he get that leniency and kindness from? I was never like this
oga buy him SK

You speak of being gentlemanly, kind and lenient as if they are bad things. They are not!

Remember , you were not there for the earlier part of His life so don’t expect Him to transform overnight.

He is 5 years old, still forming and making sense of the world. Focus less on forcing Him to be a type of way. Focus more on being the kind of Man that is worth emulating ( and I don’t mean being ungentlemanly, mean and unforgiving) . For in the end , it is not what you say but what you do that will play out.

Leave Him for now and revisit the matter when He is like 7. All the best.

Are you sure you are really his father and are you sure you deserve to be called one. That is the original make of his soul. You are not his creator. Don't force him to conform to your expectations. Rather you are guide him and make him always feel good and happy about himself. With time his confidence will blossom. I don't understand how you guys will just give birth and expect the kid to be a ready made version of Superman. For God's sake he's five. Don't pollute his soul with your dead philosophy. Haba!

The boy must be a goog child. You said someone took his biscuit forcefully from him and he stillwent ahead to give him water to drink. He is a well-mannered boy. Thank your fate that you don't have crook as a child.
Re: My Son Is Too Shy by Nyanabo(m): 10:43am On Jul 05, 2021
Sir, I don't think too kind is a bad thing. Yes too timid may not be good but you should stop him from being kind.

And you shouldn't do anything to toughen him up, yes you shouldn't. If he is being rough-handled by his mate let him be. Let him take those. With time his peers would roughen him up just like you want, but don't do it yourself you would only bring down his self esteem even the more.

What you need do is to constantly tell him to always stand up for himself. He grew up with his mother for 5yrs so what do you expect? He is a mama's boy.

The child's mother raised a polite empathic child, but you want to turn him to one of the dysfunctional agberos raised in Nigeria.
Is it wrong for a child to be raised to be kind?
It doesn't mean he is stupid
Please try and learn some decency, compassion, kindness and integrity yourself, as they seem like strange concepts to you
Those are the things we should bequeath to our children.
So you want to tell me you're kind, no be you talk say u like vawulence grin

Humans will never be satisfied even if God gives them the world. you happen to have a kid who's gentle, too kind and you wanna swap that character for a thug like own?? meanwhile some families are there praying day and Night for God to change their hardened Son to ur typa boy. u got urs on a plater of Gold but you are not satisfied yet, u prolly want the tough, stubborn one.

I guess you don't know the advantage of having the type of ur boy
1. He'll quickly heed to correction and training
2. He wouldn't want to do anything that would make you mad/sad
3. Reasonable people will love me
4. people will fight to defend him if he's wrongly accused
5. with a tender heart as such he'll always have you in mind
6. he'll take to heart any advice or parental guidance easily
7. He'll respect you
8. he'll be well behaved and peer pressure may likely not affect him immediately since ur training will keep ringing to his ears. To mention but a few.

and what you don't know is that, in a bid to change an extremely gentle person the end product would be an extremely rebellious kid. there's no such thing as having a touch of gentility and a touch of stubbornness mixed together. you're either gentle or haughty/stubborn. so choose one

May God bless you for this comment.

The OP is a foolish goat. God gave you a kind and wonderful child, and you want to swap that for a rascal. You are not fit to be a dad. I am embarrassed on your behalf.

Tueh!

You fvcking demon. You realize if we had more people like your son, this country would look better than Japan.

How do you even think people from civilized countries behave? Please note that I don’t consider America a civilized country, only Japan and Singapore (maybe some small European countries like Luxembourg etc)

We honestly don’t need people like you, OP, in this country. There’s millions of your type here that’s why it’s a shiithole.

Yes, all offence intended.

I support this comment 100%.

I am upset that he has a problem with his son because the kid is good-natured. What sort of demon is this op?

Don't we have enough mean and aggressive people in Nigeria already? Must he add his son to the long list?

No it's not like I am wicked or evil but he is too soft..too soft.. just too soft and kind... There are some things you should know, if he grows up with a soft nature In a country like Nigeria, he won't be happy with most encounters he'll have.

At the end I will be blamed for raising him in that way. I am just concerned about his survival but I honestly wish to live Nigeria one day. But till then, I have to make him harder

Always tell him what to do. If he is going to buy something tell him what to say. Teach him everything. As you go out to buy something when you get there, tell him to say, this or that, let him act the way you do. This is what I know

Not really the best advise. The little dude just lack some confidence which the father should work on.

With what's going on in boarding schools today, I'd definitely not suggest it. Work on the dude's confidence, work with him, encourage him, build a winner mentality in him.

Being shy isn't a crime, it just needs to be controlled.

These two pictures are those of notorious big and tupac shakur as kids. I'm sure you know how they later gave a new definition to thug life as adults. But look at their innocent looking faces. Chidinma is also innocent in looks. Just nurture that kid. But never judge a book by its cover

you want a 5 year old to start exhibiting a man attitude. you are not the one to decide that right now. Life situations will. Life has a way of bringing out the best we are. I have seen over tough boys who became extremely weak because of how they couldn't handle some life situations with wisdom. Give it time. I used to be shy, couldn't speak publicly. Today, it is different. No one turned me to that. I just learnt I needed it for survival. Every develops attributes needed for their survival as they grow in life.

I was timid as a child,shy, emotional (i cry easily)and an introvert .My mates do bully me,omo my childhood was really bleeped up.My dad didn't help matters he always beat me up that when my aunt saw the belt marks on my back I had to lie it was my mother.
I could only open up to my mom,my dad on the other hand called me names like mumu ,goat,idiot(they got to me) lets not add the emotional abuse from my step moms(I felt worthless).I am not trying to make my dad the villian here he takes good care of us financially no cap .I believed what changed me was boarding school and life grin cheesy
I am still that emotional boy inside(but I no dey cry again ooh) even if my face is now full of facial hair.I am still an introvert but no longer shy and I love it.My dad always said he doesn't understand me and he never tried to grin.He never listens to me.I had to collapse one day before he knows that I was very sick,I rather die than speak out.The only person I could open up which was my mum is late.

Parenting is job I think no one is perfect at and I love both of my parents.


Try to understand your child , I don't know how you go about it sha but I just see myself in him. grin.
